Certainly, the appeal of radios has plummeted in recent years; however, you may find yourself drawn to this delightful Portable Radio. Designer Omar I. Huerta Cardoso has infused it with a fresh aesthetic to make it an asset in your home or in your office.
The case of the concept device is made from smooth aluminum and finished in a powdery shade of blue, purple, green or silver. The face of the gadget is bright white and features a manual frequency dial and an intriguing-looking speaker. The surfaces of both circles have been manipulated to assume undulating forms for ripple effects. To complete the perfectly peculiar appearance of this Portable Radio, the designer gave it a little handle in its bottom corner so that it stands curiously on a slant.
